My sons go to Moulton now, but hopefully will be changing. They have had superb teachers in kindergarten, first, second, third and fourth grades. They have been very lucky! Overall the school has had academic issues for years. The principle now is trying to change all of that but I'm not convinced that it is soon enough for my sons. I stand by the teachers that have taught my sons, but they are very good, very good boys behavior and academically, but there are too many kids that don't have parental supervision and are not involved with their children's education. Therefore, we have had some huge difficulty with safety lately. The principle and teachers are doing EVERYTHING that they can to curb this, but the parents are just not available to oversee their children's lives at this school. My son's go to the church across the street for the after school program and this has been a positive experience regarding the leaders of this program!!!!!!! BUT, there still are too many kids that do not have morals and values instilled in them. Therefore, like at the school the teachers and leaders HAVE to spend way too much of their time correcting instead of educating. My opinion only.
